Positive Parenting Strategies with Leanne Page

Leanne Page is Mom to two and a BCBA - Board Certified Behavior Analyst.  Leanne helps parents incorporate positive behavior strategies in their parenting.  During our discussion, Leanne shares the four main reasons for behavior problems in children and ways that you can use a positive approach to combatting and dealing with meltdowns and difficult behavior.  

Highlights from the episode:

• Positive approaches to use before meltdowns occur to avoid them
• Using timers to manage expectations and transitions
• Using verbal prompts to front load for the "last thing" 
• Positive reinforcement and rewards vs. taking things away and using punishments
• Controlling rewards and maintaining control as parent

Leanne has a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology, a graduate certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis, and has been a BCBA since 2011.


Leanne's writing can be found in my book Parenting with Science, on her website Parenting with ABA, the Today Show Parenting Team, Medium, bSci21.com , and the Dr. Kim Live show.
